How to Identify Missing BDA Kernel Files from the Grub Shell
(Doc ID 2598819.1)
Last updated on APRIL 17, 2023
Applies to:
Big Data Appliance Integrated Software - Version 4.14.0 and later x86_64
Purpose
If the latest kernel files are missing from the boot directory, an Oracle Big Data Appliance (BDA) server reboot may seem hung. From the ILOM console, reboot may look to be stalled at the grub menu. For example consider the case in, Upgrade to Mammoth 4.14 OL6 Reboot Fails-Servers Are Hung at the Grub Menu (Doc ID 2598813.1).
This document provides instructions on how to manually enter the commands in the grub shell during a reboot to identify missing kernel files.
